The Pentagon document, obtained by The Nation, leans on findings from 2012's Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), a type of coronavirus, and 'incorporates insights from several recent outbreaks'.

The 103-page documents warns that an outbreak could reach pandemic levels due to a number of factors that are the case with the 2019 virus; unsanitary living conditions, crowded workplaces, and proximity to international airports.

I'll post it again. In December of 2018 Trump disbanded the pandemic task force Obama and Biden created. This was not a room full of people but instead thousands of government employees with experts throughout in dealing with pandemics. Trump then tried to destroy the CDC budget.

Chuck Schumer sent Trump a letter in January asking Trump to declare an emergency and to prepare. Trumps fuckup is monumental. And historians are taking notes. Many of Trumps followers are going to die because of their decission to make him president. Not to worry though. Trump will be sure to get his share of the 2 trillion.

“It would be nice if the office was still there,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institute of Health, told Congress this week. “I wouldn't necessarily characterize it as a mistake (to eliminate the unit). I would say we worked very well with that office.”

“It's unclear whether the decision to disband the directorate, which was made in May 2018, after John Bolton became national security adviser, was a tactical move to downgrade the issue or whether it was part of the White House's interest in simplifying and shrinking the National Security Council staff," Cameron says. It's impossible to assess the impact of the 2018 decision to disband the unit, she said.

A senior administration official said Friday that the NSC's global health security directorate was absorbed into another division where similar responsibilities still exist, but under different titles. The work of coordinating policy and making sure that decisions made by Trump's coronavirus task force are implemented is still the job of the NSC.

“I think if we'd had a unit and dedicated professionals looking at this issue, gaming out scenarios well before ... we might have identified some of these testing issues,” says Lisa Monaco, President Obama's homeland security adviser ...
... or not. I depends on the acuity of whoever's in those positions.

This is why it's a waste of time conversing with ideolog trolls. Kiki thinks Dr. Fauci can stand in front of Trump and say to the world that Trump disbanding the Obama, Biden pandemic taskforce, was a monumental mistake, and it wouldn't cost him his job.

He is daily forced to listen to Trumps bullshit, and then clean it up as best as possible. He knows his presence at Trumps press conferences is vital, so he does what he can in challenging what Trump says without going too far.

Kiki you're simple minded. Trump scheduled his press conferences during the primetime viewing time slot of people watching their local news. This is so local officials and reporters can't get their message out which makes him look bad. Not interested in your opinion on anything; especially this.

Maybe people would take any opinions you had about Trump seriously now if you didn't have a full 3 year history of daily TDS on full display to peruse through.

The guy was warned we were due for a pandemic, watched as one grew and then dicked around waiting for everyone to stroke his ego instead of DOING SOMETHING, and you call US DERANGED???

There isn't one single thing that Trump could have done that you wouldn't have had a problem with.

He certainly wouldn't have gained your vote in November, no matter what he did. Meanwhile, his approval rating is doing just fine right now and will probably never fall below 45% again before election, which should easily be enough for him to win the Electoral College.

Herbert Hoover was President from March 4, 1929 – March 4, 1933. Hoover bragged about his stock market boom, but he also got stuck with the October 24, 1929 stock market crash and the following Great Depression. And what happened next? Hoover lost reelection; FDR was elected President. Trump now has his very own 1929 Stock Market Crash followed by his very own Great Depression. Maybe Biden could be the next FDR?

States warn of dire ventilator crisis. Trump disagrees

President Trump began the seven-day stretch threatening — and then reneging on — a quarantine of the New York region. He ended it by announcing recommendations for everyone to wear face masks but stressed he would opt against sporting one himself.

In the days in between, Trump announced a 30-day extension of stringent social distancing guidelines (March 29), called into a freewheeling “Fox & Friends” gripe-a-thon (Monday), presented a dire assessment of how many Americans are expected to die of the coronavirus (Tuesday), launched a military operation against drug cartels (Wednesday) and stoked a feud with a senior senator from hard-hit New York (Thursday).

The novel coronavirus has decimated the economy, turned hospitals into battlefields and upended the daily lives of every American. But in Trump’s White House, certain symptoms remain: a president who governs as if producing and starring in a reality television show, with each day a new episode and each news cycle his own creation, a successive installment to be conquered.

Facing a global pandemic, Trump still seems to lurch from moment to moment, with his methods and messages each day disconnected from — and in some cases contradictory to — the ones just prior. The pattern reveals a commander in chief unsure of how to defeat the “silent enemy,” as he has labeled it.

Instead, Trump has focused on his self-image — claiming credit wherever he believes it is owed, attempting to project strength and decisiveness, settling scores with critics, boasting about the ratings of his televised news conferences and striving to win the cable news and social media wars.

FDR was sickly, campaigned from a wheelchair, and died at 63. Herbert Hoover was athletic and lived to 90, but FDR, with paralyzed legs, was still able to kick Hoover's ass. That was because of 1) the 1929 Stock Market Crash and 2) the Great Depression. Trump has both a crash and depression for 2020. Trump's ass is soft, fat, and ready to be kicked.
